Fourth of July in grand old fashioned
style. A large platform has been
erected in OsgOod's Grove, at the top
Of Ross Run Hill, where all who wish
can while away the day and night in
the may wbirl. A good time is
bound to be had.
-Tidioute will "rouse" on the
Fourth, while other towns in the
neighbOrhood lay dormant. Oil City
made a slight struggle in that direc-
tion, but the patriotic bubble bursted

enthusiasm for August 25th, the time
fixed for the big reunion of the veteran

ton on the coming Fourth. Music,
dancing, racing, fireworks, and all
other amusements appropriate to the
occasion, will be the order of the day
and night. No labor will be spared
to make the day one long to be re.
membered by the good people of that
section.
